The Fly Bar

A well positioned venue for a night out in the centre of town by completely out of place. A wacky grunge industrial decor room greets the entrant with black wooden floors, tired sofas, so quiet that I can hear my friends at the other side of the room word for word as they [...]

Dublin Castle is  clearly a well established rock venue for underground noises, leather dressed individuals and persons interested in the curious art of tie-dying. The venue is a small but airy room with a bar at the front end served by a busy bar woman with little taste for a smile. The drinks [...]

The Devonshire Arms

A vampiric abode indeed!! This is claimed to be THE Goth pub of London attracting the most outrageous characters from all over the world to indulge in an atmosphere of Gothic delight.
